6th-gen desktop i5s were quad core, with mobile chips going that way I believe starting with 8th gen.

The HQ series were quad before the 8th gen but that's where the U series went quad. They tended to have HT disabled so 4 core 4 thread.

That's right. I forgot the 6300HQ and 7300HQ were a thing, and they were indeed four cores with HT disabled.
